LIST A (i). (ii). (iii). (iv). (v). (vi).
LIST B D H B E G J
3. (a) (i) The volume of liquid displaced
(ii) The density of the fluid………2 %@
(iii) The volume of immersed body
(b) (i) From principle of conservation of momentum
mu + 0 = (m + m)v………1 %
mu
v=
(m + m)
m × 20
v=
(2m)
m × 20
v=
(2m)
v = 10 m s………1 %
⁄
Therefore the speed is 10 m⁄s
(ii) Because some of the kinetic energy is lost as heat and sound during
collision………1 %@
4. (a) Sketch diagram

………2%
From the diagram above
sum of clockwise moment = sum of anticlockwise moment
0.4 × 15 = W × 10
0.4×15
W = 10 = 0.6N………2 %
Therefore, weight is 0.6N
(b) A screw jack has a screw pitch of 5mm and the effort arm of 16cm
(i). Kinetic energy (due to the motion of the effort arm) and potential energy (due to
position of the load)………2 %
(ii).From
load L L 750N
M. A = = = = 25
Effort E E 30N
2πR 2 × 3.14 × 16
V. R = = = 201
P 0.5
M.A 25
Efficiency e = V.R × 100% = 201 × 100% = 12.4%………3 %
5. (a) The use of convex mirror
✓ It is used as the driving mirror………2 %@

Page 1 of 4
 ✓ It is preferred to a plane mirror because it forms a smaller image (diminished
image) or it has wide range of view
(b) The type of the lens is a convex lens (since the image formed is real)
To the image at large distance the object must be placed at the principle focus. So the
value of the focal length is 20cm………5 %
6. (a) (i) both consists convex lens which focus an inverted image. In camera focused onto
the film while human eye focused on retina………3 %
(ii) Both adjust the quantity of light entering. In camera it’s done with aperture while
human eye it’s done with iris.
(iii) Both capture the image through an important element, retina for human eyes and
film in a camera
(b) From the diagram

FR = ma
but FR = μR N = μmg
ma = μmg
a = μg
a = 0.44 × 10 m⁄s2
a = 4.4 m⁄s 2 ………4 %
7. (a) A is the heater because brass expand more than iron. At high temperature, bends
towards B to cool the room by cooler and at low temperature the bimetallic bends towards
heat the room by the heater A ………4 %
(b) (i) The one which painted matt black will cool mostly quickly because black body is a
good radiant compared to white body ………3 %
(ii) a process is called evaporation ………2 %
8. (a) In pressure cooker there is high pressure compared to the open saucepan hence the
boiling point in pressure cooker is higher so it cooks the beans quickly ………5 %
(b) From principle of heat exchange in the mixture
Heat loss = Heat gained
m1 c(θ100 − θf ) = m2 c(θf− 0)
m1 c(θ100 − θf ) = m2 cθf
0.2kg × (100 − θf ) = 0.3kg × θf
20 − 0.2θf = 0.3 × θf
0.5θf = 200 c

Page 2 of 4
 θf = 400 c………4 %
9. (a) (i)Step up transformer ;is the type of transformer which has more number of turns in
secondary coil rather than in primary coil as a result to have higher voltage in secondary
coil………2 %
(ii) Step -down transformer; is the type of transformer which has more number of turns in
primary coil rather than in secondary coil as a result to have higher voltage in primary
coil………2 %

P 60W
(b) I = V = 240V

I = 0.25A
For N bulbs total currents (IT) =5A=NI………4 %
IT 5A
N= = = 20
I 0.25A
He can connect 20 bulbs to a 240V and 5A fuse
(b) By connecting two 2Ω resistors in parallel, then in series with another 2Ω resistors as
shown below………3%

………4 %@
NOTE;
The above is minimum number, but their other alternatives which can be allowed using
more resistors.

10. (a) (i) By changing the length of the wire

(ii) By changing the size of the wire ………3 %@
(iii) By changing the tension on the wire
(b) From the graph period =0.004s
1 1
frequency = = = 250Hz
T 0.004S

1. Since, f = λ

v 12
λ= =
f 250
Wavelength =0.048m

Distance (d)= 2250m………3 %
11. (a) When connected with electric appliance and the current exceeded normal………3 %
(b) Total energy used for 10hrs
2000Wx 10hrs =20000Whrs………2 %
But 20000Whrs =20Khrs………2 %
Then
The cost using the appliance = 20Khrs x Sh. 1.50………2 %
= Tshs. 30 / =………2 %@

(c) To protect or prevent electric appliance from being damaged by excess current and its
connected in series with electric appliance(s)………4 %@
